We stayed at Gillian's apartment in July 2016 and found the apartment to be spacious, high quality and well equiped. The apartment had all we needed, is very accurately described on the website and was clean and tidy for our arrival. It proved a great base for outdoor activities and sight-seeing but also has plenty of internal and external space for those stay-at-home days, and the swimming pool was the icing on the cake for an end of a hot day dip. Gillian was most responsive to queries we had and we intend to return :-)

The apartment is in lovely condition, very well equipped and is in a very nice block and peaceful setting. You can ski to within 100m of the apartment and the pool is lovely. This is our second stay in this apartment which says it all! Highly recommended.

The chalet was everything we hoped it would be. Fantastic and thoughtful renovation has created a clean and ergonomic get-away that was a great size for the 5 of us. The village is a real 'working' alpine village so has plenty of local charm and great shops - far nicer than a sterile ski resort. The surrounding area (including the ski area) is stunning. Would happily visit summer or winter and I would absoultley recommend this chalet (I will certainly be making a return visit!) Genuine 5 stars!
